At galvanized tiles they can be made to measure – of steel or aluminum – that is, in the length that the customer wants, thus avoiding waste, which can be reduced by up to 60%. It is unbreakable, offering security in maintenance and assembly.
The only detail is the noise caused by the rain in contact with the tiles. The term galvanized comes from “galvanizing”, which is an industrial process that consists of covering iron or steel with a layer of metallic zinc to prevent oxidation (rusting), that is, covering one metal with another to prevent corrosion. This guarantees the tile greater resistance, especially when it comes to bad weather (climatic factors, such as winds, rain and humidity).
THE galvanized roofing tiles it is normally used in places that need heavier structures, such as warehouses, factories and industries. In addition to supporting this type of load, it is considered a light material and of excellent quality. This type of tile has a peculiar characteristic, which is incombustibility, that is, it does not burn (does not burn).

That there is no excessive heating of the coverings, the companies adopted the system of thermal tiles, which consists of employing galvanized steel tiles or aluminum with a layer of polystyrene and / or polyurethane (group of synthetic, resinous, spongy or rubbery substances, used as insulators, adhesives etc.) in the middle, as if it were a “sandwich” (a plate, polyurethane and another plate). This results in a thermoacoustic insulation, that is, which concerns noise or sound reverberation and lighting and thermal conditions. Its wavy shape still allows water to drain and does not retain moisture.
There is a possibility that the coating layer will be thicker, depending on the customer’s demand, but of course, it will come out with a higher value. Other types of compounds can be found on the market, such as glass and wool, but since they are not very popular, they are produced on a small scale.

Some customers even ask – as a unique type of finish – for companies to paint the tiles in order to make them look more pleasant. This painting still serves as a protection for the steel, helping in the reflection of incident sun rays. Of course, acquiring this type of finish ends up influencing the price of gavanized tiles.
Post-painted tiles receive small layers of polyester paint (a resinous substance for the manufacture of synthetic fabrics, artificially made from a synthesis of components to be similar to natural).
In general, the galvanized tile does not have a very high cost, being the preferred one to coat, for example, roofs of industrial pavilions. The price is around R $ 17.50 to R $ 25.00 per square meter of tile, and they can be purchased in several different sizes.
